About Manchester

Discover Manchester

Manchester needs little introduction. From the Industrial Revolution to the music scene, this is a city that has shaped the modern world. More usefully for motorhome hire from Manchester, it sits at the centre of the northern motorway network with the Peak District 30 minutes south, the Lake District 90 minutes north, and the Pennine moors rising directly to the east. Our Pontefract depot is approximately 60 minutes away via the M62, with the drive crossing the Pennines at their highest motorway point.

Culture, Music, and the City

The John Rylands Library on Deansgate houses one of the finest collections of rare books in the world, including the oldest known New Testament text. Manchester Art Gallery holds outstanding Pre-Raphaelite paintings. The Whitworth combines art with parkland. The Northern Quarter is packed with independent record shops, vintage stores, craft bars, and street art. The Science and Industry Museum occupies the world's oldest surviving passenger railway station. The Imperial War Museum North at Salford Quays, designed by Daniel Libeskind, is one of the most striking museum buildings in the country. Old Trafford and the Etihad draw football fans from around the world.

The Peak District, the Lakes, and Beyond

The Peak District begins just 30 minutes south and east, with the gritstone edges of the Dark Peak, the limestone dales of the White Peak, and the walking country around Kinder Scout all within easy reach. The Lake District is around 90 minutes north via the M6. The Lancashire coast at Blackpool and Morecambe is a similar distance. The Pennine moors rise immediately east of the city, with Saddleworth offering dramatic walking within half an hour. The Yorkshire Dales are within 90 minutes. For families, the range of day trips from a Manchester base is hard to match from any other city in the north.

Festivals and Events

Manchester's calendar runs year-round - the Manchester International Festival, the Christmas Markets, music at the MEN Arena, and football throughout the season. A motorhome gives you a comfortable base with your own kitchen, shower, and beds without the scramble for city centre hotels during busy events.

Collecting Your Motorhome

Our fleet includes 2-berth, 4-berth, and 6-berth Elddis motorhomes with both manual and automatic options. Prices start from £135 per night, fully insured with 24/7 roadside assistance. Selected vehicles are dog-friendly. We recommend using a campsite on the outskirts and catching the Metrolink tram into the city centre - the network is extensive and efficient. Our motorhome packing checklist covers what to bring.

The drive from Manchester follows the M62 east across the Pennines - around 60 minutes to our Pontefract depot. The M60 ring road gives easy access from all parts of Greater Manchester. We do a full walkthrough of every system before you leave.

At 60 minutes from our depot, Manchester is at the outer edge of our main catchment, but the M62 makes the drive straightforward and the Pennine crossing is part of the experience.

I recently booked a campervan for a short break to celebrate my partners 60th birthday. The whole experience from the initial contact/enquiry with Ryan to our trip around the Lake District and over to Northumberland was so easy. Ryan was always on the end of the phone for any questions or simply with help and encouragement. The van was new to Heaths, the 2/4 berth Elddis and it was very well equipped and easy to set up, everything we needed for our first time. We loved it and will definitely be booking again.

Amazing from start to finish! The whole experience was smooth and stress-free. The team provided fast replies to all of our questions, which made everything so easy to organise. As it was our first time renting a motorhome, we weren’t sure what to expect, but they explained everything clearly and made us feel completely comfortable before setting off. The motorhome itself was spotless and well-equipped, making our trip even more enjoyable. We would definitely recommend this company to anyone thinking about hiring a motorhome, and we will absolutely be using them again in the future!

We recently hired a motorhome for a week-long holiday to Scotland and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. The motorhome was clean, well maintained, and fully equipped with everything we needed, making it feel like a home away from home. It was comfortable to drive and surprisingly spacious, with plenty of storage and a well-designed living area. The freedom a motorhome holiday gives you is unbeatable. We loved being able to change our plans at short notice, explore different castles, waterfalls and beach wake up to a new view each day. Setting up at campsites was straightforward, and the facilities onboard made travelling easy and stress-free. Overall, the week flew by and was a great way to relax and explore at our own pace. We would definitely recommend a motorhome holiday to anyone looking for flexibility, comfort, and a bit of adventure, and we have already booked to go again.

I have just come back from 9 days in a Heaths Motorhome and would just like to complement Ryan on the level of service to myself . Any questions I had (which were a few) as I am not a user of motorhomes normally were answered promptly and satisfactorily , i also found his pricing very competitive. The whole process from the first contact to receiving my deposit back at the end was handled with efficiency and good spirit . I would have no hesitation in recommending Heaths Motorhome Hire to anyone thinking about it and good luck to Ryan in the future , I’ll be back when the need arises .

We hired two motorhomes from Ryan to travel to St Ives for 7 days, we had the best time & the van's are great! So many features in them made our trip very easy & stress free. Ryan was super helpful & allowed us to extend our stay without a problem. We will be recommending to our friends & are looking forward to renting them again for our next trip away! Thanks again Ryan

This was out first experience of traveling away in a motorhome with zero previous experience. Ryan could not have been more helpful from the first time of taking the enquiry to the handover process. We did have a few questions about how certain things worked whilst we were away and he responded immediately without any fuss. Ryan could not have done any more and went above and beyond what we ever expected to make our experience as simple, easy and enjoyable as possible. First class service from start to finish would definitely have no hesitation in recommending and we are already trying to plan our next motorhome holiday with Heaths Motorhomes!

This was the first time we had hired a mobile home. Ryan made this an easy experience, with full demonstration of the features and phone back up if required. He also offered plenty of good advise for our trip. The home was in spotless, well equipped and was perfect for our needs. Collection and drop off was easy and very close to the A1. We will certainly use Heaths Motorhomes again.

We rented one of Healths luxury motorhomes for a month. The motorhome was beautiful, clean and spacious and very comfortable to drive and we should know as we drove more than 2500 miles around europe. Me, my husband, our 14yr old son and our dog enjoyed everything about the motorhome. It had everything we needed for our epic family adventure. Now moving on to Ryan, the owner of this small company, from day 1 (back in January) he's been very responsive to ALL my messages, before the collection he sent us alot of information ready for our holiday, during the month of rental he has been on hand as and when we needed him and when my handbag was stolen with our passports in, he showed nothing but empathy and sympathy and went out of his way to make everything less stressful for us. I'm extremely greatful for his exceptional service and personal attitude.

I cannot thank Ryan and Heaths Motorhome hire enough, it was a long time in the making to surprise my partner for his 40th Birthday. We have just got back from our trip in Wales and it was fantastic! The motorhome was immaculate, communication prior, in the week leading up and during our trip was amazing! Ryan was hands on, when we needed anything even though he was on a family holiday himself. The whole experience was one we will never forget and we’re already planning our next trip! Could not recommend Heaths Motorhome hire enough, simply amazing! Thank you so much!

Hired a motorhome from Ryan for 5 nights Wow! What a way to make a trip. As avid campers we decided to take the plunge and hire a motorhome to and a bit of comfort to our lakes trip with our 8 year old, and it couldn’t have made it anymore perfect! It had everything we could possible need and more. It was also incredibly spacious and our son loved the ceiling bed and we all had a great nights sleep. Having so much storage was a big bonus and it was super cosy inside at night. The entire process of hiring and collecting was super easy and Ryan was constantly on hand to check if we needed anything or had any questions. I cannot recommend enough, already deciding where we can go next and hire again!

After an incredible 3000-mile European road trip with the family, I can't recommend Heath's Motorhome Hire enough. We traveled all the way from the UK to Stockholm, Sweden, crossing the impressive Øresund Bridge and making memorable stops at Öland and Lake Vättern. Along the way, we drove through and stayed in six other countries—Holland, Germany, Denmark, Luxembourg, Belgium, and France—and our motorhome was absolutely faultless the entire time. The motorhome was meticulously maintained and provided the perfect, comfortable base for our travels. The interior was so cozy, allowing us to get some well-deserved rest after long days of driving and sightseeing. A huge thank you to Ryan for making this unforgettable trip possible. His service was exceptional, responsive, supportive, knowledgeable, everything you need! We'll definitely be booking with him again for our next adventure!

We have just got back from an amazing time on the South Coast, The Motorhome was immaculate and Ryan was always on hand if we needed anything. We had 4 kids with us so I wasn’t sure what to expect but the kids had the most amazing time and loved motorhome life. Highly recommend and we will definitely book again.

Our first time renting a motorhome and honestly, we couldn't have found a better company to do it with. Everything has been so easy. From the booking to the collection and drop off. The orientation session was a really great service and allowed a novice like me to get an understanding of everything. Communication has been first class all the way through with Ryan and you just know he's there if you need him (which, because of the quality of the vehicle and the orientation session, weren't needed). Can't recommend Heaths enough. If you're considering hiring a motorhome, don't look anywhere else. Trust me.

First class service from Ryan, very helpful from the get go. We hired one of his motorhomes for a trip to Silverstone for my husband and daughter, a 6 birth for 2 definitely gave them both plenty of space, everything was very clean and easy to use. Ryan was only a phone call away if needed but everything ran smoothly. Will be booking it again for next yeas trip

Back from our first motorhome trip as a family of 4 around South Wales and what a week it was! I was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable the Motorhome is with plenty of storage space (even for an overpacker like myself). The van has all the amenities you need and more. Ryan was absolutely amazing explaining everything and quickly replying to our many questions before and during the trip. We will definitely be booking through this company again and I would highly recommend. Thanks for making our first motorhome adventure a success!

We’ve just come home from a wonderful week away! The van was very modern, clean and well equipped. Ryan was a great host, nothing was too much trouble for our 121 questions 😂 We have already had people ask us about hiring and I hope as many people enjoy this kind of experience!

We had a wonderful holiday touring Scotland in a Heaths motor home, staying in Loch Lommond, Isle of Skye, Dornoch, Stirling and Falkirk, finally landing back in England with a couple of days in Bamburgh. The van was an absolute delight to drive and live in for the 12 day tour and Ryan went above and beyond from start to finish, explaining the workings of the vehicle with back up videos. We are already planning next year with a tour of the south coast! Highly recommended.

OG FRIENDLY 🐾 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ We took a chance on hiring a motorhome for our Scotland road trip – just me, the husband, and one of our dogs – and honestly, we’re now completely converted (pun fully intended). From start to finish, it was a dream. Comfort was top of the list – we clocked up 5–6 hour drives with zero numb bums or backache. The convertible bed? Surprisingly lush! We’ve done Aussie motorhome trips before and this was in a different league – spacious enough for both of us to sleep soundly without an elbow in the face. The motorhome was spotless, well laid out, and had way more storage than we expected – and we didn’t even fill half of it. Bug blinds on every window and door meant we could let the breeze in without inviting in the midges. Dog friendly? Absolutely – and that’s a non-negotiable for us. Lily was living her best life. Customer service was brilliant. Ryan was helpful from the start and incredibly responsive with any questions we had. Nothing was too much trouble, and he was really accommodating to our specific needs. He came highly recommended by a trusted mechanic mate, so we didn’t even shop around – and I’m so glad we went with him. We’ve now discovered that motorhome life is very much for us. I’m a bit of a snob and my husband has mild OCD, so it’s luxury motorhome hire or nothing from here on out. Ryan, you’ve set the bar!!

Hired 2 vans off Ryan for 2 families to take a trip to south of France for 2 weeks, and the whole experience was amazing! Ryan was so helpful right from the first message and especially whilst away learning the ropes of how to work everything Vans come fully stocked with everything needed, even cleaning products- all insurance breakdown etc covered which meant we could just pick it up and off we go! First time doing anything like this and I'm sure it won't be the last! Thank you for everything 😊
